First Ammendment Already under Assault

[tt11758]

Holy Crap!!!  It's already begun!!!

From the website of the Sioux City (IA) Journal:

PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) -- Two Papillion-La Vista South High School students have been suspended after allegedly using insensitive language about President-elect Barack Obama.

School officials say the juniors made the comments during a social studies discussion of the presidential election. Officials say the students' comments about Obama had racial and religious undertones, but officials declined to detail what, specifically, the students said.

Neither did school officials reveal the names of the students.

Principal Enid Schonewise (SHOW-neh-wise) said the suspension fell under the school district's harassment policy. She says any language considered offensive based on gender, race, religion or ethnicity is not tolerated.

Old news. Not this incident, just the latest. Schools, the center of learning where free expression should be a given, are some of the least free places in this country. Speak your mind and you will be punished - unless the teachers and principal agree with you. Then you can spout off all you want.

Two words: home schooling

expect b-ho and his minions in the NEA to go after them too, real quick. Can't have independent thought now, can we?

Schools have become the most closed, narrow minded, politically correct, factually incorrect locations on the national real estate.
Academics....

So true.  We homeschool.  There is a lot I can take, and I have no doubt we are facing an incredible burden with the new regime (not administration) coming in.  Taxes, I expect; punitive social laws, I expect; restrictive gun laws, I expect, but messing with my children it is time to fight.  My mother is a retired teacher that had to belong to the NEA so I know how twisted the NEA is from what she has told me and what I see in the media.  I very much believe that children need to be protected from the NEA and their liberal Gestapo mindset.  What price is there to attach to your child having their mind polluted with socialist-marxist thought?

There are a lot of good teachers...so don't blow a gasket on what follows.  Teachers do not deserve worship and the ultimate word in raising your child....the parent is the ultimate decision maker in raising up their child.  Liberal teachers will tell you how to raise your child if you let them....don't let them.  The liberal teacher will not assume any of the blame for a child pregnancy, child drug use, and other aberrant behaviour but will very much leave the parent to pick up the pieces and grade the parent for the failure.  A couple of the smartest people I've worked with and for did not have college degrees...so come to grips with this....and some teachers are outright brilliant...but now...and don't blow a gasked OK...teaching is a not tough subject in college...you don't have to be anywhere near an Einstein or Obama to be a teacher....said that now get over it and don't worship or bow down to the next teacher that is telling you how to raise your child.  Be bold and unwavering when a liberal teacher shows your child, your spouse, you or your beliefs disrespect and turn the conversation towards exposing their shortcomings.  You can win this but...it may come with a price....so what is your child's unpolluted mind worth?

We thought about private Christian school, public school and home school.  We went with public.  However, we have the advantage of being in a small town and know all the teachers and administrators.  That gives us the ability to oversee our children's education, and if there is an issue we could correct it at home quickly.  Over all what we did was raise two children with their eys wide open and able to fight.  And, they are both fighters!

Excellent.  The small town schools are a lot more responsive to individual parent's wishes.

DUH, what do you expect from socialist indoctrination centers ? When we went to school, back in the REAL US teachers taught you HOW to think, since the socialist infiltrators got control of the NEA they try to teach WHAT to think.

But keep an eye on them anyhow. Sometimes the curriculum is set at the state level, teachers don't have all the say, and most draw from NEA resources just cuz it's easier than developing their own.

Read the text books, especially any of the softer sciences (history etc.), watch how they spin things.

Be involved.

What is taught as "History" in text books bears very little resemblance to anything on THIS planet.

History is all about the guy that wrote it... more spin then a DC press confrence.
